So sorry to hear that. Being cheated on is one of the most painful experiences. But it is a common thing I've seen from religious people. My best buddy found Jesus again because he is dating a married woman that is hardcore religious. They've been cheating together for nearly 15 years now. She is married to her husbands money and strings my buddy along like a puppy. Looks down on others because they don't do what she believes the bible wants. Fantastic hypocrisy right? I do hope there is an actual Hell for those type because they rarely suffer the consequences for their lack of following their own religion.
You know it was a pretty awful ordeal. She had her boyfriend serve me. Plus all our church friends threw her a party. Was really painful. It helped me along to become an atheist.
Sorry to hear you converted under such crappy circumstances. One of the first things I began seeing in "religious" people, not all mind you, is the hypocrisy. Once you start to see it it is everywhere. But it can make you a better person too. You don't have to rely on "god" encouraging you to do something. You have the power and moral to be a good person, not be gauged by some sky father for your actions. To me it makes it mean more when a person does it out of personal responsibility than "because god said" types. Tons of others out there with similar stories, keep your chin up brother.
